FABULOUS!

We hired Chef Mark and Affordable Chef services for a Birthday party early this month and were blown away at both the quality of food and level of professionalism. Mark was flexible and provided suggestions but listened to what our vision was. During the event Mark and his staff were right on the mark yet able to adjust when needed. My husband and I are foodies and were so impressed by the quality and presentation of the food. In short, everything was seemless! What a great event -- thanks Mark. We'll definitely be hiring you again!

Tasty

Worked for us

We had Mark Gallagher provide catering services for our wedding/reception at Villa Viscaya on 10/8/11.  The price for what he has to offer is impossible to beat.  The food including appetizers and multi-course dinner tasted very good - prepared with high quality ingredients and professional care.  Mark is very experienced at catering weddings and events so rest assured he understands execution.  Overall, everything went very well.  We did notice during setup that the place settings weren't correct, but after calling this to Mark's attention he quickly had it fixed.  The only other consideration to mention was that Mark's communication and reassurance during the planning stages isn't his strongest suit.  Perhaps that's because he's very experienced at this.  Nonetheless, those who like to work out detailed plans with lots of communication may be left wanting.  Still, for the price and overall quality of food, it's a tradeoff that's certainly worth considering.  Worked for us, that's for sure.

Chef Mark & the Affordable team is ( AWESOME ) .

 Thank you for providing a wonderful evening. There were raves about the food and the service. I cannot say enough about your staff and their attention to detail and quality of the service. The Appreciation Dinner is the premier event of the year and this year’s event was especially nice. I wish you continued success and hopefully we can do this again in the future.
